# Dense text stack on a 7-second loop

A faith and spirituality format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/faith-and-spirituality/dense-text-stack-on-a-7-second-loop

Stack 6-10 short, specific lines on one screen over a very short clip so viewers must pause or replay to read them all. It worked for 7 accounts, with a median of 11x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Talking head, Video.

## Why it works

The short loop plus a crowded screen forces rewatches. Each viewer can also find one line that matches them, then comment or open the caption.

## How to make it

1. Pick one theme (retrogrades, placements, ratings)
2. List 6-10 hyper-specific lines on one screen
3. Keep the clip to 5-8 seconds
4. Ask 'how many do you have?' or point to the caption

## Hook formula

[Item 1]. [Item 2]. [Item 3]… how many do you have?

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
